Fishing is another source of income for the family. Elisapeta’s sons are good fishermen who go out four days a week, depending on the weather. The fish are sold at the village near the road, or at the fish market.
Elisapeta decided that having two businesses was insurance against setbacks, such as a slow or low yield, or an illness that would prevent her sons from fishing for a week.
There are eleven people in Elisapeta’s family, and the sons don’t have permanent jobs. Through her two businesses, they generate revenue that helps cover family expenses and other faalavelaves (communal family events or obligations such as births, funerals, repairing or building a home).
